The Gunners, who remain four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, came flying out of the traps and looked to be on course for the victory when Robin van Persie riffled them ahead after five minutes.

But the Swans were level ten minutes later when Aaron Ramsey clipped Nathan Dyer in the box, and Scott Sinclair coolly tucked away the penalty.

Shortly after the break Dyer got himself on the scoresheet, firing past Wojciech Szczesny after the impressive Joe Allen had played him in behind the Gunners defence.

With 25 minutes remaining Theo Walcott beat the home sideâs offside trap and raced clear to chip over Michel Vorm, but Brendan Rodgersâ men immediately re-took the lead thanks to a smart finish from Graham.

‘It was a great game for the spectators with two passing teams, and I thought we deserved the win,’ Graham told Sky Sports 1.

‘We responded quickly (after Arsenal went ahead), we got the goal not so long after theirs and took them on in the second half.’For us to score so quickly after they equalised was massive and we played good stuff towards the end, we’re stood here with three points and I think we deserved it.’

Arsene Wenger through on Thierry Henry and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in a bid to salvage a point, but the Swans refused to buckle and held on for an impressive scalp.
